(EP-92.1) My Home #3

092 My Warm Home #3

Then, Comrade, Ill go decorate the house! Make sure to come and visit later!

Marmar continued waving her hand until we could no longer see each other.

Mirna invited Marmar to dinner too, but Marmar declined saying that she had a lot of work to do.

Maybe it was due to Marmar being gone, but the atmosphere suddenly had a dubious air in it

Lets go, Commoner.

And so, on a sunny afternoon, Mirna and I headed to the Draco Family mansion on the outskirts of Gracia.

Id already visited once before, so the area wasnt foreign. However, it did feel a little awkward walking with Mirna, even when there was some distance between us.

What should I talk about?

I couldnt think of anything to say on a date

What kind of conversation would a popular hunk have with the noonas?

I thought of attractive, handsome men conversing with women.

However, I realized that even a simple remark from them such as delicious could already elicit a big reaction from their date.

This wasnt really helpful, at all.

Huu-.

Then, Mirna suddenly sighed.

It didnt seem like there was something troubling her emotionally or mentally. Rather, I saw that her silky silver bangs were wet.

I rummaged through my pocket and held out a handkerchief to Mirna. She accepted it and wiped the sweat from her forehead and said.

The weathers hot today.

It is.

Jijeujeujeu-.

Mem-mem, mem-.

With the unknown insects chirping loudly in the shrubs and trees, it felt like summer was just around the corner.

How is the summer like in Gracia? Is it very hot?

Mirna should have lived in this city for quite some time, she should know what summer was like.

Mirna languidly replied as she watched the swaying haze.

As the city of the Gwangyeom Church, the sun is naturally strong and the weather is hot. But our mansion is cool.

Thats good.

Speaking of, how about spending the summer vacation at the villa?

Summer vacation?

Mirnas words made me picture what my summer vacation could be, like leisurely fanning myself in a cool mansion and avoiding the scorching sun.

Of course, I could not afford such leisure and luxury. In fact, I would be the one who had to fan Aira and Elga

In the first place, Aira and I might have to go back to Angmar during summer vacation. I would be busy with dozens of responsibilities. So I had to decline Mirnas offer, even if I wanted to.

Still, it was a bit improper to just sharply reject her, so I tried to word my response in a reasonable way.

Its hard to give a definitive answer right now since the vacation schedule has not been announced. Theres still a long way to go before vacation, right?

We hadnt even taken the midterm exam yet.

Fufu- Mirna chuckled.

Time in Ark passes faster than you think. Well, were almost there.

As we chatted, we had almost arrived at the Draco Family villa.

I was greeted by a surprise.

The previously dark and gloomy estate was now filled with colorful flowers. It was finally befitting of the word villa.

The garden is very pretty. Did you take care of it yourself?

I could say I did it, but its my sisters work.

Ah, so its your sisters.

I remembered that Mirna invited me today to introduce her sister Narmi, so I pretended not to know anything.

The one who you were buying the glass shoes for back then was your sister, right?

Yes, my sister likes shiny things. I figured that she would like the glass shoes too. Of course, that insensible and crude Lioness did not know the concept of a reserved item.

I recalled the events before school started.

It was then that I first met Mirna.

Also, Narmi liked shiny things?

Giiik-.

When we finally arrived at the entrance of the villa, the solid iron gate automatically opened. What kind of magical device was installed here?

I could also see two new stone winged lizard statues with gleaming ruby eyes. These werent here before.

The stone statues are scary

You mustnt touch them. They are the gargoyles that guard this villa. Ive increased the security since the last time the mansion was attacked by Professor Balan.

I see.

Could these stone statues really move? At this time, Mirna began to speak confidently as if she didnt want to miss a chance to brag.

It can tear apart corpse thieves, and even mages, with just one hand.

Thats amazing!

Right?

No, its scary

However, there were a lot of grave robbers who were aiming for the Draco Familys treasures, property and graveyards, so it was clear that without these, things would be more troublesome.

Though, I was curious about the price.

Then, how much does one gargoyle cost?

I thought it would be good to put one in front of Marmars house. Unfortunately, Mirnas reply was just incredulous.

Not sure. I guess its around 50 million coins?

Eherm, I see.

Marmar struggled to even pay the 10 million coins down payment, and here was someone casually dropping 50 mil on a stone statue.

If Marmar heard this, she might have screamed, You wasteful upper class! in fury.
